Austin Spurs and Ghana Center Amida Brimah has recorded an 18 point, 18 rebound in Austin Spurs 117-107 win over Iowa Wolves in the NBA Gatorade League which sealed Spurs conference title win in the process.

The ten point win is Spurs sixth straight and keeps the team at the number one spot in the Western Conference standings ahead of the likes of South Bay Lakers and Reno Big Horns.

Brimah did not start the game as he has done a lot this season but played 34 minutes in the win adding a steal and three blocks. His led the game in rebounds and blocks and was tied for second in points.

Spurs Point Guard Derrick White missed out on a triple double as he recorded 37points, nine assists and seven rebounds in the game; White led the game in points. Brimah is reportedly on the radar of injury riddled Cleveland Cavaliers who are in need of short term replacement for a depleted frontcourt where Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson and Larry Nance Jnr. are injured.

Spurs will be attempting to win its seventh game on the bounce when it takes on Memphis Hustle on Wednesday March 20.

Versatile Ghana Forward Ben Bentil is in line to face Real Betis in the next round of Spain's Endesa League this weekend for RETABET Bilbao Basket at home after starring in the previous round.

In only his second game for Bilbao after signing from French club Champagne Chalons-Reims recently, the former Dallas Mavericks player was Bilbao's joint highest scorer with 13 points connecting three of eight attempts from the field and scoring one of three attempts from three point range.

The 6 foot 8 inch Forward added eight rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block to his production line filling the stats sheet in the process. This was a marked improvement from his debut game where he scored just two points.

His point tally tied teammate Jonathan Tabu but Bentil's near double double amounted to little as Bilbao lost its 16th game of the season 67-87 to third placed Valencia. This means RETABET stays put in 16th place in the 18 team league standings ahead of its tie against fellow strugglers Betis; the latter side ranks a spot below Bilbao in the standings with five wins and 17 losses this season.

Coming up against a worse performing side is a must win for Bilbao and the team's latest signing Bentil will be counted on to deliver. Bentil has played in France, China and United States since turning professional in 2016.

The host teams in Zones 2 and 3 of this year's Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges (UPAC) Basketball Championship have qualified to the next round of the competition. Takoradi Technical University (TTU) and University of Education-Winneba (UEW) will represent the respective zones.

TTU has qualified from Zone 2 after topping it with two straight wins over University of Mines and Technology (UMAT). TTU beat UMAT 69-19 in the first game and recorded another big win via a 73-29 victory in the final game.

The two teams were the only competitors in the newly created zone as Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA-Takoradi) and Ghana Technology University College (GTUC-Takoradi) pulled out of the competition very late.

UEW had a full house in Zone 3 as all competing teams were present despite the late withdrawal from University of Cape-Coast (UCC); Regent University College of Science and Technology stepped in as the replacement. However, the late entrants surprised a lot of people by beating KAAF University College 35-25 and Cape-Coast Technical University 51-39.

UEW on the other hand, beat KAAF 46-42 and CCTU 57-35. UEW beat Regent 52-35 in the decider to make it to the quarterfinals of the competition which will be staged in Accra in April. Zone 4 games in Sunyani and Zone 5 games in Kumasi will be played on March 16 and 17 respectively.
